11 or 12 years ago, I was walking through a Best Buy parking lot and a dude passed by me with his girl dressed with all the goodies hanging out. Dude looked at me and said, “What the fuck you lookin' at?” Now, the dude was like 5’7” and skinny. I am not a small man. If someone his size talks to me like that out of the blue, I have to assume he knows something about the balance of forces in this equation that I don’t. I’m not interested in defending my pride to find out because, as Marcelus Wallace once said in Pulp Fiction, “Fuck pride.”

I once had an argument with a boxing coach on Facebook because he was telling guys—mostly young black men—to not cooperate during traffic stops until they tell you why they pulled you over. I'm not saying all cops are racist, but you do yourself no favors if you come into the interaction confirming stereotypes and being an asshole. I've been pulled over 3 times where they definitely should have taken me to jail, but I didn't so much as get a ticket. How you handle yourself can make all the difference.

Your lack of social skills will cost you far more opportunities than your lack of technical ones. If you learn how to listen, a person will tell you anything you want to know. If you learn how to speak, a person will do anything you want them to do. Even in this technologically advanced world, communication skills still reign supreme.
